Senior Notes

On October 7, 2020, GCI, LLC issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2028 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes are unsecured and interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The Senior Notes are redeemable at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price defined in the indenture, and accrued and unpaid interest (if any) to the date of redemption. The Senior Notes are stated net of an

The Senior Credit Facility also has a commitment fee that accrues at a per annum rate between 0.300% and 0.375% on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. The interest rate on the Senior Credit Facility was 6.2% at June 30, 2025.

Prior to the amendment in March 2025, GCI, LLC was party to the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Eighth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the “Prior Senior Credit Facility”) which included a $550 million revolving credit facility, with a $25 million sublimit for standby letters of credit and a $250 million Term Loan A (the “Prior Term Loan A”). The revolving credit facility borrowings under the Prior Senior Credit Facility that were alternate base rate loans bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin that varies between 0.50% and 1.75% depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. The revolving credit facility borrowings under the Prior Senior Credit Facility that were SOFR loans bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR plus a Credit Spread Adjustment (as defined in the Prior Senior Credit Facility) plus a margin that varies between 1.50% and 2.75% depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. Prior Term Loan A borrowings that were alternate base rate loans bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the alternate base rate plus a margin that varies between 1.00% and 2.25% depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. Prior Term Loan A borrowings that were SOFR loans bore interest at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR plus a margin that varies between 2.00% and 3.25% depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. Principal payments were due quarterly on the Prior Term Loan A equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount, which could step up to 1.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A depending on GCI, LLC’s secured leverage ratio. The Prior Senior Credit Facility also had a commitment fee that accrued at a per annum rate between 0.375% and 0.500% on the daily unused amount of the revolving credit facility depending on GCI, LLC’s total leverage ratio. The interest rate on the Prior Senior Credit Facility was 7.2% at June 30, 2024.

GCI, LLC’s first lien leverage ratio may not exceed 4.00 to 1.00.

The terms of the Senior Credit Facility include customary representations and warranties, customary affirmative and negative covenants and customary events of default. At any time after the occurrence of an event of default under the

Senior Credit Facility, the lenders may, among other options, declare any amounts outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility immediately due and payable and terminate any commitment to make further loans under the Senior Credit Facility. The obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by a security interest on substantially all of the assets of GCI, LLC and the subsidiary guarantors, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, and on the stock of GCI Holdings.

As of June 30, 2025, there was $299 million outstanding under the Term Loan A, $70 million outstanding under the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility and $3 million in letters of credit under the Senior Credit Facility, leaving $377 million available for borrowing.

Wells Fargo Note Payable

GCI Holdings issued a note to Wells Fargo that matures on July 15, 2029 and is payable in monthly installments of principal and interest (the "Wells Fargo Note Payable"). Outstanding borrowings on the Wells Fargo Note Payable were $4 million as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The interest rate is variable at SOFR plus 1.75%. The interest rates on the Wells Fargo Note Payable were 6.1% and 7.1% at June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Wells Fargo Note Payable is subject to similar affirmative and negative covenants as the Senior Credit Facility. The obligations under the Wells Fargo Note Payable are secured by a security interest and lien on the building purchased with the note.

Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of the Senior Notes was $580 million at June 30, 2025 (Level 2).

Due to the variable rate nature of the Senior Credit Facility and Wells Fargo Note Payable, the Company believes that the carrying amounts approximate fair value at June 30, 2025.
